column expect five fully games loss
We fully expect to try to make the playoffs. We're five games out of the loss column and we're in first place in our division. These are the kind of games we have to get.
dug hole shortcuts start taking terrible
We were taking shortcuts out there, got off to a terrible start defensively and really dug a hole offensively.
kept ray scoring terrific
We kept scoring and then Ray got hot. That's a terrific win. They're awfully good.
last team wins
We just weren't there. This team has been through a lot, but we've had some pretty significant wins in the last 12 games.
ahead huge stayed step training
We just weren't there, sorry, we just weren't there. It's huge to have a training camp. But they were just better than us tonight. They were a step ahead of us, stayed a step ahead of us. We just didn't get in the game. Nothing worked. We just got our butts kicked.
seattle shame team
To me, Seattle has always been a cornerstone of the NBA. It would be shame if the team had to leave.
defense hands played team worst
This team when I first got there played defense with their hands down - the worst I've ever seen.
good respond
We weren't very good at anything. We just weren't there. We didn't respond physically. We didn't respond mentally. We just got our butts kicked.
basket bell contested easy pick points poison rather shot
You have to pick your poison with them. How many points did Bell have (23)? It's something you had to live with. I'd rather them take contested threes than get an easy shot at the basket inside.
commitment credit definitely players playing
You have to give the players a lot of credit because it's definitely different than the way we were playing before. It's at the other end of the spectrum, and it was going to take a commitment on their part, a lot of concentration.
grace somewhat training
You have to give them a grace period, because they are going to make mistakes. As I said, this is training camp. I have to be somewhat patient.
certainly fighting fights-and-fighting half momentum played playing playoff spot
You have to give Philadelphia a lot of credit. They're playing without Iverson, they are fighting for a playoff spot and I thought they played hard. They certainly had the momentum most of the first half and most of the third.
year
This year has been a ball. It has just been so fun. It's been hard, but it's been a lot of fun.
shots
We got shots contested, but we just got manhandled, I think, for the first time.
